Thank you Mounir IDRASSI and team for your work on this product. Having used Veracrypt system encryption on non-UEFI boot laptops with windows 7 and Windows 10 without issues, I recently tried system encryption on a newer laptop.
Laptop model: 'Gateway GWTN156-9' running Windows 10 20H2.
EFI firmware identifies itself as (APTIO Setup) AMI Version 2.21.1278 ver: tPAD109.
BIOS: LC-BI-15.6-N14TBR100-608-I
VeraCrypt version: VeraCrypt 1.24-Update7.
The issue at hand is that the Veracrypt pre-boot authentication screen is not displayed (screenshot attached). Only a password prompt is visible in a small font, indicating a high resolution display setting.
I have looked at the solution given by Mounir in the link above. However, the platforminfo file (attached) shows just one GraphDevice. I have not tried <config key="GraphDevice">0</config> in the DcsProp file out of fear for rendering the system unbootable. I have too little knowledge of how UEFI boot works.
The settings of this EFI board (screenshot attached) number in the thousands. However, I have been unable to find anything in there relating to boot screen resolution settings.
So I'm pretty much stuck with this boot screen and while it works, I would rather see the usual Veracrypt pre-boot screen in case something goes wrong. I am looking for a workaround and/or a fix in a future release.

The only similar thing I have been able to find in this forum, as well as in Veracrypt Github's issues, is pictured here: https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/9ddf7e38c7/?limit=25#3d1a0
